What car is the worst in your opinion - Page 2

i say ford b/c backwards it means Driver Returns On Foot..lol

thanks. I was a guest on this site for a while.. then i decided to join

ford is the "most successful" only by their own measure....ford and gm are struggling TERRIBLY..and while dodge is not doing much better, it is doing better than the two...Ford calls themselves the most successful because theyve been around forever...by their standards, cadillac is better, because the company that henry ford originally founded, then later elft, was cadillac...

the first ford truck was actually designed not by ford engineers, but by a pair of brothers, sort of outsourced by henry ford....theyr name, the dodge brothers...

ford calls their truck the best selling? of course..it was designed by dodge..

wow , I'm surprised to see so many people interested in this discussion!

WORST CAR




A YUGO

hmmm..a yugo might be the worst engineered car ever...

I see Fords are mentions frequently. I have one, (besides my Honda).

A Mustang G.T. conv.

It had a lot of problems, (under warranty), although, they only repaired one of four.

A wrong front spring, (replaced).
Whine in the transmission at road idle, (not repaired)
Two places in the top where there are wrinkles, ( would not repair/replace)
Very slow to return to idle when releasing the foot feet, (wife will not drive) - would not repair.

As far as another Ford - If someone gave me or I won one - I would get rid of it immediately!

Believe it or not.

Wow, i totally disagree with a lot of you people. IMO Ford is the best. If you look at statistics there is more Ford trucks on the road that were built 10-15 years ago, then any other company's truck. Plus they make the best truck, The F-350 Superduty Dually Truck. My dad has one, never has had a problem. Also you have to remember that stands for First On Race Day. Lets also look at another great thing. Thier sports cars give you the MOST bang for your buck. A 29 G Mustang 2004 Mach 1 beats a 31 G 2004 Pontiac GTO. A 37 G SVT Cobra beats a 41 G Chevy Corvette. A 150 G Ford GT POWNZ a 188 G Porsche and a 300 G Ferrari. Thats what matters. Also GM is gonna lay off 1 out of every 6 of their employees. Ford Just recently expanded production at a enigine plant very close to where i live ( Which =s JOBS). Also while i was in europe, i saw about 4 GM vehicles; A lot more Fords, about 67. Now for what i do agree with; Yugos do suck, 100%. Two words that can NEVER be used in a sentence together; Yugo and Fast. But i have dreamed of buying a Yugo and stretching the engine compartment and dropping in a bigger engine and a turbo; and have it put out about 350 Horses; But then i woke up!

P.S. If you dont believe me about the Ford GT beating the Ferrari, look around on Car and Driver.com, you should be able to find it thier, and in their opinions it was there favorite vehicle of the three for overall comfort, acceleration and other things.

ford has had endless problems with that AWFUL GT...wheels falling off at high speed? that is one place where they do beat the ferrari...number of parts falling off.

ford trucks sell heavily because theyre cheap compared to the other brands. performance wise, the new ford trucks are no match for the GMs or the Dodges in regular truck things like pulling due to the fact that the new fords are VERY heavy, and they didnt produce the lightning, so obviously performance isnt even a concern of the severely overweight F150

i would like you to show me stock for stock where a mach 1 will beat the GTO, and where the cobra beats the vette..and which vette?

I dont mean to thread jack but lasy night I was waling in my parking lot and this pearl blue car caught my eye... at firs I thought form the light that it was a really bad customized supra... but then I saw it in the light and it was a firggin Lotus Elise! I couldnt believe there was one sitting there. Ive never seen one in person in m life... I didnt have a camera to prove it thought

The worst car i actally tested it on the weekend with my sister those new MAZDA 3's BIGGEST PIECE of "POOP" you fell every god darn bump and then we tried a 98 accord out it was so crazy u couldnt feel poop.

Really? I need to fix my suspension then.

I have a 2000 Blazer which always have something out of order. It only has 60.000 km, and almost every day it gives me a unpleasant surprise. One day are the brake lights, the next day the air conditioner, then follows the oxygen sensors (veeeery expensive), later is the turning light handle, in summary very expensive, recurrent maintenance. After owning my Accord those annoyances are becoming heavier and heavier. In fact it is on sale now.

Regarding Ford I have never own one of them. I remember my father used to have a 1976 Ford Fairlane which was very dependable (as far as I can recall). For what I have seen today, Ford cars seem to have troublesome transmisions and overall as they become older they look much older than other contemporary American cars. I never have own a Ford car, and I think I will never do.

I had a 5 spd 97 VW Jetta. The front engine mount broke twice. Could be when I spin out a couple times. It wasn't designed to take much torque I guess. Parts are expensive too. 700 bucks to fix sunroof, when it stopped working. Didn't bother to fix it though. Water pump broke and so did the dip stick handle! There was a plastic flange that slowly leaked out all my coolent, replace that myself, easy. I kept adding water though, which caused rust. This thing call exchaust recycling manifold, I think, broke too. Cause the engine to have low idle, or sometimes even stops the car. Had to reve engine for it to work. My battery dried out once, I needed to replace a safety switch of some sort, and then the battery. It's still running though.

What about Kia, Dawoo or hyundia(although I admit hyundia has come leaps and bounds)?


I remember Daewoos were buy one get one free for a while... i mean come on!


a lot of american cars are crap... the the koreans seem to have one hell of a clogged toliet if ya know what i'm saying.

Nope you are all forgetting the newer volkswagon beatles. They're ugly and teribly slow.
they even got a swithc under the gas peddal to limit it's excelleration!!! how terible is that????

well then of course there is the chevy cavalier. LOL... i can't decide

This conversation should end. It consists of 3 pages of people bashing Ford's and like 2 people defending them. SHUT UP, Ford sucks. But I agree that Honda dependability = awesome. Honda performance = need some work.

yep, ford sure sux, along with neons, and vw.
I only like a few fords, and they're all old school. '70 boss, '67 shelby gt500 & gt350, old gt40 and that would be the end of my list.

hell ya!!
gotta love those classics. Guess it's to bad that they dont make em' like they used to

that would fall under the cat. of chevrolet. not the best invention, but i'd have to say they can be practical because of their gas milage. ofcoarse they're not meant to be modded. but i have no complaints at this point with chevy, except for some stupid dicision making on some of their models.

ah yes, but imagine a geo metro with 300 hp lol

I for one find the very worst car to be that car that does not ever run right and gives you way too much trouble...

WheelBrokerAng

yeah, that would be a geo metro..... most of their lives die in an engine fire
